Lively Exchange Of Words
Doctor Carver Beats ths
Record.

San FRANCISCO, July ga. A. Vo-
hen, q Southern Pacific attorney. was the
chief witness examined by the Pacific
railroad investigating commission. lie
testified to having represented the com
pany in suits regarding certain bonds,
all OF which were compromised. He had
never seen the contract between the
Central and Southern Pacific. and could
NOT state Its terms. He said that after
the government gave the company aid to
build its road 1t gave similar aid to 9TH
er companies and subsidized other roads,
that have detracted from the value OF
Central Pacific stock. The has
been forced by these competitors to reduce
tts fares, ETC., so that there is little profit
in running the road. Besides, the
United States bonds realized the COM
pany very little; not more than go per
cent OF their face value.
The consequence Is that the
now has to pay about twelve per cent. fol
the aid 1t received. Then It cost three
timer as muchto build the road as it would
fve years previously or subsequently.
In my opinion,n he said, nobody can
take hold of the Central Pacific and make
1t pay the principal and interest it owes
TO the government, and It's mortgages"
Ihe witness declared that by reason OF
competing lines, including the Canadian
Pacific, the company has $50, 600, 900 Of
net revenue In the last five years. In
witness opinion the Thurman act had
been the most observation-disclosures OF all
congressional legislation.

THINKS STANLEY IS ALIVE.
Opinion of an Export Regarding til,
Explorer.

Opinion of an Expert Regarding the
Explorer.
WASHINGTON, July 28.-Lieut. Emory
B.. Taunt of the navy, who has returned
to Washington after two years spent in
exploring the Congo river in Africa, was
interviewed in reference to the published
reports Of the death of Henry Nj. STANLEY,
the African explorer. Lieut.. Taunt does
no believe that Stanley met his death In
the alleged, and thinks that the
sensational reports which have been pub
llshed have no foundation In fact. He
says that when last heard from Stanley he
was strongly intrenched in Damn in tho
Arrowimi country, about 800 miles above
Stanley Pool. The natives in this region.
while the most savage OF any tribe along
the banks OF the Congo, have no other
arms of warfare than knives and spears
and would have 10 chance of victory over
such q large force as that employed bv
Stanley; nor would he, who has universal
reputation for prudence and caution.
heedlesly expose himself to tho FIRE Of his
own natives, or the poisoned arrows OF his
antagonists. Furthermore, supplies are
plentiful along that part OF the river, and
there would have been no necessity OF a
fight to obtain them. Concerning the re-
port that Stanley was drowned by the
sinking Of his steamer, Lieut.. Taunt saws
thai the river in the ,Arrowimi district
has no other distractions than snags and
sandbars, and even had the steamer
struck one of the snags 1t would be 4
very easy matter either to run the
steamer ashore or upon a sand-bank be-
fore it could sink. The Henry Reed con-
stantly carries two boats in tow and in
time Of extreme danger they could be
brought almost instantly into use. Apart
from all this, Lieut.. Taunt anirms that
1t would be a physical impossibility for a
telegram which left st. Thomas July 9 to
reach the coast and Europe by this time
He says that it would require ten DAYS at
least to steam from the Arrowimi dis
trict to Stanley Pool, and then, If the
boat left Immediately, another ten DAYS,
would be consumed In the journey to Ma
tadi, and two days from there to Boma
Lieut.. Taunt in the most positive terms
characterized the whole report as sen.
sational and entirely improbable to Iii
who are acquainted with the condition
Of things on the Congo river.

waiting an indefinit length of time for
their pay. 1--WE would knock off work
at noon Saturday aud the. contractors
would keep us waiting until 8 or 10 o.
clock at night, and often later for our
money, :, said he. ssIhe English working
people laid the blame for this on the
American management, whereas the En-
glish contractors alone were responsible.
Several riots were the result of this treat
mens, and on one occasion the mob broke
all bounds and tore down n large Ameri-
can flag which floated from one of the
buildings and proceeded to burn it on a
